Jane Robbins, LCSW

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jane commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take actions that align with their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach where the therapist provides nonjudgmental listening and reflection to help people feel heard and decide on their own next steps. This approach supports people who need space to process emotions and find direction.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that drive unhelpful behavior and to teach practical tools for change. CBT often includes exercises between sessions so people can practice new skills in daily life. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a shared process; the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust as they learn what helps best.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult, and chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins or when shorter written interactions fit a schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines while keeping attention on practical progress and skill building.
